Hi,

This is not a Bug.. This is the restriction in SAP..

Unless you delete the BOM, it is not possible to change the UOM.

If you are using the ECM for BOM then becareful while deleting the BOM..(without History only, delete the same).

Otherwise, the entry in STKO/STPO will not allow you to change the UOM..

Hi Shiva,

Please refer the note,what he is telling is right.according to this note,if a material is assigne or used in any of the BOM,then u cant change base unit of measure.

Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). During the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master.

In particular, the following checks are performed:

The base unit must not be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material

No International Article Number must be assigned to the base unit

No proportion/product units must be defined for the material

No configurable material must be assigned

The material must not be used as a configurable material

Stock must neither exist for the previous period nor for the current period

No physical inventory must be active

No reservations or dependent requirements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set

No planned orders must exist

No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set

No WM transfer requirements, no WM quants or no WM posting change notices must exist

The material must not be a bill of material

The material must not be contained in a bill of material

The material must not be used as a production resource/tool

The material must not be used in task lists

No standard cost estimate must exist for the current or future period

No production orders must exist

No planned independent requirements must exist

No run schedule headers must exist

If the base unit has dimensions, no serial number profile must be assigned

No sales and distribution documents must exist which have status Not processed or Partially processed

Hi,

If the material is having any orders or stock, The system can not allow to change the Base unit of measure.

if you want to change the Base unit of measure remove the orders and stocks
